UPDATE: Check post #7 by Halstaff. His foam idea is faster and easier.
So my wife and I started making our candles this week. I found some black LED tea lights so I made some black. Now I'm sure a lot of us will be making some so I thought I would post how I held the tea lights in place. I cant remember who it was that got great stuff foam all over his arms and hands, so I hope this will help others that are doing them for the first time? This is easy and you might already have what you need?
First I lined up the tea light to the out side of my PVC pipe and marked it, then drilled some small holes (sorry don't remember the bit size) on each side and pushed in some toothpicks and cut the ends off, you can then use the glue to cover up the holes and keep them from moving.
